NON-HEAT-CONDUCTING ENVELOPE FOR ICE-CREAM, 85C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,698, dated FebruaryG, 1883.

Application filed November 6, 18S-2. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORDEOAI T. FUSSELL, of the city and State ot' NewYork, have invented an Improvement in Non-Conducting Envelopes forIce-Creain, Water-lees, Ste., of which the following is a specification.

Ice-cream, water-ices, Sto., are commonly sold in the saloons and otherplaces to be carried tothe home of the purchaser, and it is customary toput said cream in paper boxes of various sizes. These boxes alone do notprevent the cream or ice melting more or less. Hence the envelope foricecream, Src., patented to me May 30, 1882, No.'258,640, was designedto obviate these objectionable features, and provide an envelope thatwould keep the cream for an hour or more without its melting. Thisobject it accomplishes; but the envelope is too costly.

My present invention relates to a non-conducting envelope for ice-cream,Src., which is cheaply made, and which accomplishes all that the moreexpensive envelope will do.

Said invention consists in combining with the package or box oi'ice-cream or similar material, end pieces held in place on the box and awrapper of l'elt rolled around the box and extending over the edgesofthe end pieces, so as to etl'ectually incluse the same from air.

In the drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section ot' the saidenvelope, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same.

The box c is usually made of thick paper, and into the saine theice-cream or similar niaterial is placed andinclosed by a cover inanyknown or desired manner. The boxes are usually kept in a refrigeratoruntil required for use.

My improved envelope consists of awrapper of thick felt, b, and endpieces, o c', and it is preferable to apply this' Wrapper in thefollowing manner: The end pieces, of felt, o c', are placed at the endof the box and secured by one or more-bands 0f rubber passed around thesame. 'The wrapper b, of felt, is as Wide as the length of the box withthe end pieces, c o', added, and long enough to go around the box two orthree times. I roll said wrapper around the box and secure the same byrubber bands d, passed around the saine in different directions.

Instead of the rubber bands, I sometimes use string, and I prefer toinclose the Wrapper and box in paper'before it leaves the store. Ahandle may be attached to the string, so as to carry the packageconveniently.

I claim as my invention;-

In combination with the box or package of ice-cream or similar material,the end pieces,

c c', held upon the paper box, and the wrapper of' feltrolled around thebox and extending over the edges of the end pieces, c c', substantiallyas specified.

Signed by ine this 2d day of November, A.
